Scores of others wounded are being transferred to the nearest health institutions in that locality.

Early reports indicate the 70-seater bus of Buca voyage was involved in a collision, but authorities of the agency are yet to comment on the incident.

The Yaoundé-Douala highway lane has for years recorded many deaths as a result of road accidents, caused by drivers on high speed and unprofessional practices.

The Ministry of Transport for the past months has been handing over sanctions to recalcitrant agencies and drivers but this doesn't seem to curb road accidents.

However, some people blame the ministry for carrying out road safety campaigns during specific periods, giving enough breathing space for drivers plying the road.

Most often companies sanctioned don't respect the others as they go back operating after few weeks of suspension.

A recent accident by Guarantee Express along this stretch of road led to the death of several persons with a Douala based journalist amongst the deceased.
